| Hi all, I had my surgery 23 July and still have not had a fill. I have my appt on Thursday. Not sure why I had to wait so long. How long after the op did most wait for first fill. From reading other post most seem to be up to second fills and I still have not had any. Wow everyone is doing so well, congratulations. Bring on summer I say. I have lost 9.5kg but it has really slowed the last couple of weeks. Little worried about the fill but very excited cause I need some extra help to move these scales. |

| Have just come back from my 2nd fill and found out that I have at least 6ml in a large band. The syringe used was 6ml, so doctor could not tell exactly how much more than 6ml was there. I feel quite a difference, so hopefully this will kick off the weight loss again. I also had to see the respiratory doctor again, and he was happy with my progress so far, but wants to see me in 3 months time when hopefully the weight loss have made further improvements to my asthma. I will most likely have the sleep apnea test done again. I still have to keep using the asthma medication, morning and night, to prevent problems. That is ok, just a bit of a nuisance as I often forget to rinse afterwards and keep getting a husky voice. |

| Hi Kate, A bit of a shock for you as well as the other people :) But a pleasant one I think. I guess if you don't like being centre of attention, then it can be a bit daunting, but it must make you feel good also. Well done on your weight loss so far, the reaction from the others must spur you on to keep going It is a nice journey, even if the road can be a bit rocky from time to time for some people. |

| Ok,I need to tell people who "get me" about my morning. I went to a function this morning that I usually go to once a month, but I missed last month. So these are people who haven't seen me in 8-12 weeks or as I like to think of it 20-25kg. OMG I was blown away by the response I got! People kept coming up to me telling me I look amazing, asking how much weight I've lost, how I'm doing it etc.(No one knows I'm banded) I even had 3 people I know quite well tell me they didn't realise it was me at first! Part of me is pleased as punch that they can all see a difference, the other is horrified that it made me the centre of attention in the little groups we were in. I didn't know if I should run away & hide or do a little happy dance. Keep in mind people I'm still 50kg from my goal weight - I'm no Elle McPherson. It's all a bit overwhelming actually, but makes me more keen than ever to get there! Kate |

| Hi Guys, I had my 2nd fill on Thursday. I'm feeling a little less hungry but not much. The 1st fill he put in 1ml but it was too much and couldnt get fluid down so I had to get 0.5ml taken out. So this time he put in 0.5ml and I still gurgled with the drink test so he had to take some out so I only got 1/4ml in. I'm premenstrual as well so I crave anything sweet, so its hard to be good! But I'm trying and thats all we can ask of ourselves. Kate well done on your loss, you must be sooo proud of yourself. Arn well done on joining the gym! I've lost 17.7kg and I'm happy and really starting to notice now especially with my clothes. But it feels like forever to get to the 20kg mark, I have to find something to spoil myself with (non food related) when I reach 20kgs I think!! Take care Mel |

| Hi Kate, Guess what I joined a gym this week and last night I had my first session with the trainer and it was fantastic. HOw amazing that we have now got the courage to do this. So my programme is set - cardio on treadmill, weights on 6 different machines then cardio on the cross trainer. All to be revised monthly or something like that - I had forgotten how good you can feel when you work out. It has been 10 years since I went to a gym and I used to love it - I had forgotten what my body can do.....of course it is early days but I am so pleased and my daughters gave me a beautiful card telling me how proud they are of me for looking after myself last night and I cried. Kate you are doing so well - 24 kg's is awesome - you go girl. Each time we get under another number is so exciting bring on the 30"s for you I say... Qui I haven't had a fill yet, this thursday is my appointment - am a bit nervous about it. Off to a conference today. Have a great day everyone and remember July Bandits are FABULOUS Tootle Arn xxx |

| Hi everyone, It's so nice to come back & catch up with everyones story - I'm not sure where the time goes... Has anyone heard from Lizzy or the odd couple? I'd love to know how everyone in our little July group is. For the 1st time in my life I've joined a gym (it's not pretty, or elegant but I'm kinda enjoying it which is really quite obscure)I go a minimum of 3 times a week for 30 minutes. I walk almost every day & I sleep so soundly! I'm currently 141kg. I think I've lost about a 1kg in the last 10 days or so which brings me to a total loss of 24kg. I'm trying desperatly to get to 139kg - just want to stop seeing that 4!I've had 2 fills and hope to have a smidge more in a couple of weeks. I find that when I'm pre-menstral I can still each huge meals and the more fat it contains, the happier I am to eat it! You girls who have hit double figures are my heros! Love to all Kate |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Arn, you are doing really well yourself :) You have not had a fill yet, have you? And still losing, that is great. I really struggle at the moment, not wanting to overeat, so looking forward to 2nd fill on Monday. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SUzanne, Your dedication to go and see your surgeon that is so far away amazes me.....you go girl !!!! Have a great weekend Cheers Arn |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Qui that is fantastic - I am so pleased for you and slightly jealous lol.....Getting to double digits is fantastic, but under 90 is awesome - that is my next goal. So keep up the great work you are inspiring me.... Cheers Arn |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The scales have finally moved a little this morning. 89.0 now, so I have lost a total of 16.0kgs... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I am flying out to see my surgeon on Sunday for an appointment on Monday. This will be my first post op visit. (My surgeon is over 1000kms away). I am hoping he will give me my first fill. I have not lost anything for the last 2.5 weeks so am keen to get things moving again! Will let you know how it all goes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi mel, how did you go? was this yor first fill? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Going for a fill today, thank goodness I feel like I'm going to start gnawing at my arm any minute I'm soooo hungry lol! Will let you know how it goes! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Arn You are doing well, I have not lost anything in the last week, sitting at 89.4... so have actually gained 300g (was 90.4 at my fill Wednesday last week, then went down to 89.1, but back up to 89.4 where I have been since..). I am also looking for food at night, and I am scheduled for a fill on Monday. I hope that this will then fix my problem at least for a while. The first fill (1ml) only really lasted a couple of days and then started getting hungry again. I do feel it if I eat too much (I am careful not to), but I get hungry before I should, so that is my main problem. Oh well, learning every day, and at least I am a lot less now to what I have been for a long time, so I am feeling good. Good luck for your fill, did you have any fill at the time of operation? I am not sure if I did, but will ask on Monday how much is in the band. |

| Hi everyone, Isn't it amazing how life gets busy again ?? How is everyone going? Barge I hope the port flip is fixed quickly and everything gets back on track for you. Looking forward to hearing how it goes. I have decided it must be getting close to fill time...I have an appointment next Thursday - I am still eating very little and feeling quite full when I do - BUT - feeling hungry more often and the head hunger is getting a bit worse - last night I was searching the pantry for something sweet after dinner. That is the first time I have done that since before Opti. I made a cup of tea and put myself to bed to avoid the kitchen. There actually isn't anything to eat in the cupboard that's naughty !!! I only lost a couple of 100 grams this week but am still happy I am double digits and going down. My body is changing and I feel so much more comfortable and lighter already....so all is good. Keep all your stories coming good, bad or indifferent. Tootle Arn :) |

| I'm going back under the knife in two weeks time to fix my flipped port. I have set the record with my surgeon for the quickest flipped port and he is one of the Melbourne pioneers! I'm feeling special. Now to actually lose some weight. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Hi All, Had my first app today (been 6 weeks since band)...have lost 21 kg now which is great!...Was hoping for some fill but was told as long as I am still losing weight I wont be getting any! I feel like Im eating too much but they seemed happy with my progress... guess they are the experts! Dont have another app for 8 weeks...I guess I just dont want to get to the stage of not losing and I guess it has a bit to do with not trusting myself with food!! Hope everyone else is well! xx |
